ToadKiller Dog Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 What about Lee Wallace? His behaviour was fine, but I remember him as a fit, speedy left back that could fire up and down the left flank, hence his ?1.5m valuation. The Rangers have destroyed him. To be fair he destroyed himself , he decided to stay when the old club died which in someways is admirable but daft for him career wise . He is a million miles behind Andy Robertson who is now rated at ?12m and has the topsides looking at him . Nobody is looking at Wallace these days .

Mooth11 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 It's strange how he gave away the penalty and complained saying it wasn't one. In the same game he got booked for complaining that a blatant dive for a penalty wasn't given. How Law wasn't booked is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmfc22 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Don't have a problem with Black. Was told he wasn't needed at hearts and had few other options to go to. Can't blame him for accepting silly money that will set him up for life. He looks a shadow of the player that ran the cup final though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Dan Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 He has turned into a really really really shit football player What about Lee Wallace? His behaviour was fine, but I remember him as a fit, speedy left back that could fire up and down the left flank, hence his ?1.5m valuation. The Rangers have destroyed him. The Rangers have destroyed all the players that joined them. I can't quite put my finger on who or what has removed any football ability they had but Fat Sally, money and the general malaise that surround the club are front runners for me.

The People's Chimp Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Liked the way Walker didn't react at all and then calmly slotted the penalty away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Walker is really growing up and is showing a bit of maturity this season. I wasn't sure about his attitude when he first appeared in the team, but he's made me eat my words. Really like him as a player and I think Neilson and Levein will develop him into the player he has the potential to be. Unlike Blackie, of course, bringing it back on topic, who other than for half a season, has never been the player he has the potential to be.

Guest C00l K1d Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 I loved him when he played for us. Well for about 1/3 of his time with us. He didn't even look like he was trying tbf and it was a really daft penalty to give away. The foul probably was a yellow but considering walker was going away from goal probably a harsh red. A shame to see his game go down the pan, but I doubt he had many other options than a 3rd tier rangers at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winston Ingram Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Lot of re-writing of history goes on about Black's time with us. Was good when his contract was running out but think we could all have taken or left him the rest of the time. Certainly wouldn't be on any list of top 20 midfielders at the club over the last 20 years. Stewart slagging him off is funny, though. If ever there was a guy who thought he was a better player than was actually the case and needlessly got involved in all around him....! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's heated stuff. http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/gordon-waddell-rangers-players-shrug-4678381 That is a very unfair attack on Ian Black. Black was most likely casting his mind back to when the wages dried up at Hearts. Why pick on him there are others at The Rangers earning much more than him. That useless lump of a manager could cover those staff's wages himself if he was being paid a sensible wage. Terrible article which seems as if its got a personal agenda in it.

269miles Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Almost forgot he was playing until he put in that tackle. Reminiscent of his first two seasons at Hearts where he produced next to nothing and I seriously wondered why we ever signed him. Not seduced by the "legend" nonsense of 2012. He is not a Hearts legend. So glad he was "playing" yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three Rangers players set out to injure Hearts players yesterday. They were the subject of my ire. I neither have affection nor hatred for Ian Black. This is my take on Black. He doesn't register as one of our best or worst players - pretty average really and nowhere near our top 20 or so midfielders. Because he was part of the cup winning team he'll always be remembered but more as a key part of the team that season rather than a standout.

Broxburn Jambo Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 My opinion on Blackie is, he was a member of Hearts cup winning team.... Respect to him. Hearts supporter since a boy........ Respect. Not a player of great skill, but neither was Brellier who is and was idolized by a fair few on here. I said when he went to them that for every game he was playing against us I would give his just as much abuse as any other opposing player. But at the end of the day he is a cup winning Hearts player and will always have my gratitude and respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
